R.I.T. -- College

The first expression that I had when I entered the College Campus was "OH-SOME". To see such a huge place that ceases to cease is like a once in a life time thing. I worked at Infosys and thought it was so great, so big, so clean but then RIT is far too huge and neater than I expected any place to be. God! Here no one wants to thrown things around, it looks so spic and span and you feel ashamed to drop even a piece of paper. I had the campus tour which lasted more than half an hour--in a car!! But I still didn't get to see the entire thing from inside.

Surprisingly, I looked around in the international orientation program and it was less of "International" it was more of "Indian-National". I was honestly put off by it. I mean I have seen these people all my life and I cross thousands of miles to find them again? (Population Explosion at its Best) But then its OK to have those around you who understand your lingo ;) After the lectures in American-Accent-English we had the fun part. Two consecutive evenings of free Pizza, Coke and Music & Dance. I thought of letting my hair down but then I could not do it...alas, the sounds of music were -- KambakhtIshq, Singh is King, etc!!
